The Big 200
Just had my last swim class tonight (at least for level 1). We did a time trial for 200 yards, which is twice as long as we had ever done and I did it in 4:02, which was actually quite good based on my earlier 100 yard times. I’m convinced that it was due to

That Mountain Air
I’ve been very good about exercising here in Denver. I swam laps one day, and have hit the treadmill for the past two days (granted I’ve been eating out every night, so it’s probably a wash, but that’s another story). The 45 minutes of swimming took a lot out of me, but I wasn’t too

Thoughts Floating Through My Mind Today
On the 6 train at 5:30 p.m., packed in so tightly that I am practically nose to nose with the guy next to me (if I were taller), and brushing up against at least three other people: I have had plenty of dates where I haven’t had this much physical contact. Off to Denver bright

I’m Not Quite Awake Yet
But did I really hear Steve Inskeep* tell me that it would be close to 70 degrees out today?!? Woo hoo! * On NPR this morning, not personally.

Catching Up
Let’s see — just a little catching up since my last post. I had a few relatively quiet nights this week, believe it or not. Not too many, though. Friday night, The Lovely Miss Katie and I tried out the new Blue Ribbon Bar — definitely one to add to the regular rotation, although not

It’s That Time Again
Time for the annual pro bono pilgrimage, where I get to stay at the swanky hotel again — hooray! And oh yes, there will be karaoke. May also see a few familiar, non-pro bono faces while I’m down there, time permitting. I’ll be back Saturday!

Weekend Wrapup
Started off the weekend with a farewell party for Teddi, who’s moving off to Seattle for 6 months. As much as we all want Teddi to be happy, we selfishly want her to hate Seattle so that she’ll come back to NYC. I’m going to put her in touch with Geek and his family, who

I Fought the Couch
. . . and the couch won. I had all kinds of plans set for last night — Eliza’s post-Valentine’s party, then late drinks with some of the girls at the new wine bar above Punch. But I was exhausted, so wanted to go home first, both to change out of my work clothes and

I Heart Swine
What says Valentine’s Day more than The Big PIg Gig at Daisy May’s BBQ? Not much, really. Have a happy V-Day y’all — don’t forget to spread the love. "Sweet Heart" Necco Conversation Heart sculpture by Nathan Sawaya, who made me some of the best valentines (and flowers) I ever received, just for the record.

One for the Skeptic
As Valentine’s Day approaches, I’m often asked about my dating life. Do I have plans on V-Day this year? Yes. I always do, regardless of whether they’re with romantic interests or friends. This year is no exception — we’ve got a great plan in the works (more on that later). But back to dating. I’ve
